What is intimacy direction?

Intimacy direction is a human-first approach to creating intimacy scenes for live performance.
Intimacy can include familial, romantic, platonic, and violent intimacy. I believe intimacy is an important and vulnerable part of the human experience that captivates both audiences and storytellers. These moments can include but are not limited to: acts of a hug, kiss, physical contact, nudity, simulated sex, hyper-exposed work, etc.

​

I first learned about intimacy directors when I created the most awkward rehearsal atmosphere when directing a kiss scene. ("Ah, there's someone that can help with this!")

Intimacy directors can help make these scenes feel safe and fun, even make artistically brave choices when done with the right tools! As of August 2023, I am currently in Level 4 Certification after successfully passing Level 3 of the Certification program at IDC Professionals, NYC.
